Maybe they should, but in Denver they don't. None of the pool stores that I've called and only Walmart of the big box stores have it (see comment above re: Walmart chlorine; I should also mention that Walmart keeps it outside with wild temp fluctuations here in Denver).

You probably have to actually go to the stores. people on the phone don’t know what they have half the time and even if they do know it it’s just easier to say it’s not there so they don’t have to talk to you anymore. Sadly, that’s just the kind of way it is.

Its going to be even worse soon. I had to call Lowes the other day and it took at least 2 mins fighting with the AI to get an employee. *Then* they were understaffed on a busy Saturday and the entry level employee wasn't being paid to give a darn.

I don’t blame the employees that much. It’s easier to just say “I don’t know” or “not in stock” rather than having to traipse around the store looking for something and then having the customer berate me for taking so long or not updating the website like I’m in charge of the SAP inventory system or the website.

Sometimes the person calls it by one name and you use a different term and they have no idea that it is the same thing.

Maybe you ask for liquid chlorine and they know it as sodium hypochlorite.

That’s why I always ask for every possible term.

Me: Do you have any liquid chlorine?

Employee: No.

Me: How about Bleach?

Employee: No.

Me: How about sodium hypochlorite?

Employee: No.

Me: How about Liquid Shock?

Employee: Oh, yeah, we got lots of that; it’s on aisle 3.

Aqueos is "bulk...bleach distributors" (i.e. drums for commercial injection) and True Value isn't available at the store but for "special order". I appreciate the help. Let me know if you find any.
For what it's worth, my theory is that the residential pool market Denver really didn't exist pre-COVID. Even finding a pool company to do open/close/maintenance is very challenging. Most have lengthy wait lists so unfortunately you take what you can get (and if there isn't a wait list it's probably for good, or more likely bad, reasons).

Just to bring attention back to the two outstanding questions- even with the high Ph should I just assume I have an ammonia issue and attack it as such? And if yes, other than raising the CH and salt slightly (and the expense), can I do this by using 54% granulated cal-hypo? I have a digital scale so I can get very exact on how much I'm adding. Thank you

I would. If 10 FC mostly holds for 30 mins, either the ammonia is killed, or its not ammonia. Either way, its not / no longer ammonia. 😁

If the FC is mostly gone in 30 mins, its ammonia and repeat dosing to 10FC every 30 mins until you have 8+ left.

Yes if your calcium level can afford the bump.

And large batches usually cause cloudiness so don't be alarmed there.

In the grand scheme of things, its a small dose into large gallons. The calculator has rounding errors on top of that and exact exact isn't a big deal. Close enough is close enough.

You should also check with any janitorial supply companies.

If all else fails, find a commercial laundry service (linens and such) and go stop by and ask the manager where he gets his bleach. They buy it by the 15-55 gallon drum and will have a chem supplier nearby. That’s a honey hole I just found recently thanks to a buddy who owns one.
